I never do --force --nodeps on an urpmi unless I absolutely know what's going on. --noclean will save you from having to re-download the whole bunch of stuff, so...I usually --noclean the first time, and --force --noclean the second one if needed...never needed --nodeps so far. > Even on a 1ghz athlon, it takes a while to slog thru all those > rpms to find out what to do.
